in the rear i read/heard you need to be either a VERY good driver or a have alot of power to break them loose. i forgot to mention its a drift car.

they are not much different than other tires I drift on other than the price. they take the heat well and don't chunk.

I'm kind of hesitant to put such an expensive tire in the rear, especially because i'm still a beginner. Pretty much im looking for a long lasting, easy sliding, cheap, daily drivable tire for the rear...any suggestions

i have a set of rt615s that i will use only if it is a high speed course. my personal favorite are the fk452s and the dunlop direzzas dz101. the falkens are the cheaper of the two.
